Gerben
Our Voyage
Gerben, a trained maritime professional with captain’s credentials, once prepared for a life navigating the open seas. But he charted a different course: transforming an aging vessel into something both functional and soulful. With his nautical expertise, he embraced the challenge of refurbishing this ship—not for freight or exploration, but for hospitality and warmth.
Rodinde, Gerben’s partner in life and creativity, brought color and personality to the project. She envisioned more than a refurbished vessel—she saw a reflection of comfort, elegance, and charm. Her creative touch turned cold metal into inviting spaces filled with warmth and a uniquely feminine flair. Together, they converted a historic hull into two distinct accommodations: the Captain’s Cabin in the front, and the Sailors’ Suite in the back.
Once, they planned to sail the world together. Now, they’re inviting the world to come aboard the , offering guests a chance to experience life on the water—not through navigation, but through connection.
